Omisoka (New Years Eve) Mix
I made a quick DJ mix with my girlfriend in preparation for our little New years eve gig and thought I should share it with the world. If you’re into house music you should have a listen!

Version 0.9 of FingerPlay MIDI adds a few more options for each MIDI controller in the layout XML file. You can now set whether it should send note presses or controller changes and which channel and controller number it sends it on. I’ve added some comments to the default XML file which I hope is enough to get everyone started.
There’s also basic support for the Android hardware sensors courtesy of Matias Wilkman, but because they’re still very much work-in-progress they’re not enabled by default. If you want to try them out just uncomment the last screen in the default XML file.
Please let me know if there are any problems with this new version, I’m flat20 on Twitter.
I’m waiting for my girlfriend’s brother’s wonderful LED device to arrive but in the meantime I’ve prepared myself for it by creating some tiny 16×24 Flash effects which I hope can be reproduced with LEDs. I coded the classic demo rotozoom and fire effects with 2 colours and some cheap dithering added on top.
Added a new fire with proper Floyd-Steinberg dithering. Now I just need to fix the OpenGL code for FingerPlay.
Oh, and I need to update the blog with Mandy’s new design. Too much to do but not enough minerals..
When the cat’s away the mice run all over the decks and record a mix. My housemate was gone for a few days so I used his computer to record a mix in the front room. Please excuse the static noise in the beginning of it, but running a long cable from a rubbish mixer all the way through the house up to my friend’s computer has its downsides. Two actually, one being the static noise and the other being trying to rush to the toilet in the middle of the night without tripping on the cable and pissing yourself.
Check out the audio app towards the end of the video. I’ve had a lot of fun playing around with the Kaossilator but there would be so many more possibilities with the Siftables.
Update: Video of the music sequencer without the other stuff.
